While such things are multi-factorial in terms of individual and environmental parameters, I would think dehydration would be the key issue, followed by sunburn and hypothermia over time. When these situations arise, I wonder how long people can and have lasted in such scenarios.
Anybody got any idea what the historic outliers have been in people surviving adrift in tropical seas with a buoyancy device but no food or fresh water?
I don't know how far Jackson Reef is from land, or which way current may've swept her. The next question is how many miles a person might could swim, if he/she knew which way land was. Wonder what past outliers have accomplished in that regard?
